You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig arkane!I would not swap my honda/dunlite genys for anyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy chinese made generator!The copper wash/insulation coating is just crap and will not make it into a good quality generator by any stretch of the imagination.If it looks like shit, smells like shit and came from an arse please do not tell me it is a sausage.No offence mate

Loose ends make my arse itch and I have just clipped my finger nails. So the itch flows to my trigger finger.

I was not praising them just stating things as I know it!The insulation varnish is designed to stick to copper not aluminium so when using Aluminium wire it needs plating with copper for the varnish to stick!The chinese design is good but the material quality and build quality suck!Having repaired many gennies in the distant past the chinese stuff at the time was not worth repairing if it had to come apart, a switch here a connection there was worth fixing but not much more!Trying to rewire a stator was a nightmare as the bloody things delaminated easy!

Short answer: l have only done this once & the process was a bit clunky for a number of reasons but l will give these guys another run. Hop Shop Go are affiliated with PayPal so it is easy for me to sign up and make payments.

Australia Post were promoting the same sort service so that is another option.Must be plenty of others out there doing the same stuff.

Another option if you are wanting to save shipping cost on a heavy or bulky item is to talk to your local car club they will know someone importing cars & parts from the US who will sell you some space in a container.

The biggest issue is the bush housings which are are made of plastic and melts when aload is placed on the geny and it starts producing consistent heat under load.As I said before add a small fan running in front and the generator head to cool the wiring.
